@tylerdusty I’ve tried a slew of these colorful types of nonstick knives and they never seem to perform. From Meh, TJ Maxx, Ross, doesn’t matter. If this set was regular steel, I’d bite.
I was shopping at Sam’s with my daughter when she saw me looking at a colourful kitchen knife set. She said “Dad don’t even think about it because the paint rubs off.”
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, if you buy these knives, then there can be no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
@HemlockTea I love the image of Emeril having anything at all to do with these knives other than licensing his name to the Chinese company that manufactures them. It restores my faith in the essential gullibility of humanity.
@Bjlauria It’s fun to imagine him with the pantone booklet picking out all the colors, isn’t it? And I bet they took a cast of his hand to get the handle juuuust right!
These look remarkably like the Cuisinart Advantage 12-Piece Knife Set I was literally just about to buy for a friend. Perhaps she’d like these better, or just as much?
Buy from Meh, when You Care Enough to Send the Very Best. Or something cheaper.
Best purchase of knives I have made. They work terrifically, staying
very sharp, and I love that each one is labeled, so you know the best
use for each knife.
I wish my knives had labels. That way I wouldn’t keep trying to use my paring knife to slice bread.
Your list of catchphrases is woefully incomplete for anyone who’s seriously considering becoming a celebrity chef. You omitted:
“Grab 'em by the pie hole!”
“I fudge you up, but good!”
“It’ll burn you comin’ out!”
“This isn’t food! It’s my blood, sweat and tears! Literally!”
I need more and better kitchen stuff, as I transition out of the “takeout for every meal” portion of my life. But I don’t know enough/care enough/have enough time to figure out which one is best in my price range, then track it down at the best price. So I love when Meh puts up crap like this. It doesn’t have to be good, it just has to be good enough. Between this and the weird holes-in-the-blades knives a month back, I’m way good on knives for the foreseeable future. Now, apathetic discount lackeys, scare me up some frying pans!
And I’m hoping the order number doesn’t prove to be prophetic.
@RDW0409 Keep an eye out for the Jamie Oliver set they had here- a bit more expensive but really nice. If these are like the look-alike Cuisinarts they aren’t very sharp. I only use the serrated one from that set- it’s great on meat. I like meat.
/giphy I like meat
@nigglez Not everyone believes in stabbing the easy way. Some of us take pride in expanding our skill set with advanced techniques. And I am not just saying this because I signed up for a “Stabbing with Ladles” class while drunk.
@FightingMongoos I’m surprised that isn’t in the description because they look like plastic. And not “indestructible space-age industrial plastic” but "Wal-Mart 100 pieces of picnic flatware for $1.99 " plastic.
Emeril is a New Jersey capetbagger d-bag. Like Hair vonTrumpelstiltskin, he confuses fame with talent. Commander’s was better before he got there, and better after he left. A Prudhomme wannabe.
Get a Victorinox 6" chef knife and a cheap paring knife and you’re golden.
Or, you could hold out for the Guy Fieri knife set to get here on Meh. Or get both.
For only fourteen bucks I’m tempted to buy these just to see how crappy they are. Maybe they’re good enough to throw in the drawer in the kitchen at work. They can’t be worse than the “knives” we already have.
@SSteve Before you go off blowing $14 on disposable knives, swing by Dollar Tree. Knives all day long for $1 each, sometimes in multi-packs. I buy all my holiday party-going and serving utensils there…of course since I’ve been bringing the cheapos to parties, not one has disappeared. lol
@SSteve we have similar knives at work… The best thing is that when thrown in the drawer with the sheath, you won’t cut yourself or mess up the other random stuff in the drawer.
I can’t attest to the colored coating because we haven’t had them that long.
For only $14 it was a no brainer for me. But here is my gripe… I buy crap online all the time, and have never had a problem with card verification. But here, I had to go to a 4th card before I could get one to verify. What is it that you guys do weird with cc verification that no one else in the whole world does???
I have a set of $1000 cutlery which are a massive hastle to keep sharp. It’s nice to have a knife that costs so little who cares if they chip? My wife and my mother in law love this style of knife to do little things around the kitchen. 1 year warranty not that it would be worth the shipping and a couple of gifts for great cooks that will love them and I get to yell “BAMM”! Don’t like the knife set as they say in radio turn the channel.
@therealjrn iwishiknewhowtotalkwithouthpropergrammerandpunctiaonlikeyoubutsomedayiwilgetitbutuntilthatiwilhavetoreverttonormalcommunication. Now that we got that out out of the way these guys oops strike that (or not) woot sold me a top of the line Shun knife set for around $800. sosinceitsoldoutiguessalotofpeoplebuyfineknifesorisitknivesornivesheckwhoknows. So as I was saying the females in my family (note that most fine chefs are males so back off with the PC) that know how to cook like these inexpensive knifes because if they ding them who cares? The expensive ones are supposed to go back to the factory and get sharpened and fixed. All it takes is sending them back once and you realized how much fun that wasn’t. Did you get that or should I just type non stop without propergrammerandpunctuation.
I bumped into great article about knives.
The premise was most people do not have the where-with-all to maintain a professional knife set, and since knives with a very passable factory edge are available it makes more sense formats of us to buy cheap knives and throw them away when they get dull. I have to agree since I moved into my bachelor pad I’ve bought cheap Wearever knives at wallys and they cut defrosted chicken as well any edge I’ve ever put on good carbon steel blade. So it goes.

That’s a knife deal.
Meh Meh
Meh colors for the cut above
It’s time to cut our losses everyone.
Colorful knives? Bam! I’m out.
Heil Flavor!
@djslack This is deserving of more attention.
Maybe if all of them were purple …
Now these are the types of knives I need.
Don’t like chef-branded knives. Especially BAM
I will not be tricked by any more colorful knives. Fool me once, TJ Maxx, shame on me. Fool me twice, shames on you. Fool me thrice, Meh pays.
@vanslaterco What do you mean by tricked? Are you talking about the coating coming off?
@tylerdusty I’ve tried a slew of these colorful types of nonstick knives and they never seem to perform. From Meh, TJ Maxx, Ross, doesn’t matter. If this set was regular steel, I’d bite.
“Grab your girdle, Gertrude!”
Yes, I call dibs on this catchphrase, elegance be damned.
@KDemo Go to war, Miss Agnes.
@KDemo shouldn’t it be “Grab your griddle, Gertrude!” ??
@twilightgrove
I wonder if that colorful coating slowly leeches into your food and eventually kills you from the inside?
@awk Unless you rub your food on your outside, “from the inside” is the only way it could.
@awk Well la-de-da, look’it Mr. Not-Dead-Inside-Already over here!
will these arrive by halloween? they’re perfect for my clown costume.
Bravo @alacrity . Bravo.
@alacrity HAhahahahaha
@alacrity not enough stars for this!
Good for a white elephant gift I suppose
@PenguinOnTheRox As long as the recipient has never used a good knife.
@PenguinOnTheRox Would probably be a good gift for colorful elephants too.
@craigthom well that’s kinda the point of a white elephant gift though right? give a shitty gift.
I was shopping at Sam’s with my daughter when she saw me looking at a colourful kitchen knife set. She said “Dad don’t even think about it because the paint rubs off.”
Thanks but no thanks Meh.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, if you buy these knives, then there can be no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
@eeterrific The Meh-siderada
No thanks. Color coatings on knife blades tend to flake/chip off, and at that price I doubt Emeril sourced a better coating.
@HemlockTea I love the image of Emeril having anything at all to do with these knives other than licensing his name to the Chinese company that manufactures them. It restores my faith in the essential gullibility of humanity.
@HemlockTea Are their color coatings that don’t rub off or is color coating a bad idea in general?
@rv617 I cant believe that Emeril does not sit and hand paint each and every one of these knives with love and care!
@tylerdusty I don’t know if there are any that don’t rub off, but if there are I doubt it’s at this price point.
@Bjlauria It’s fun to imagine him with the pantone booklet picking out all the colors, isn’t it? And I bet they took a cast of his hand to get the handle juuuust right!
These look remarkably like the Cuisinart Advantage 12-Piece Knife Set I was literally just about to buy for a friend. Perhaps she’d like these better, or just as much?
Buy from Meh, when You Care Enough to Send the Very Best. Or something cheaper.
@heartny I wonder how these compare to the Stabby Rainbow.
@heartny I bought a set of the Cuisinart knives they had for sale here- they look the same. I love the serrated ones- the others are crap.
I love this review:
I wish my knives had labels. That way I wouldn’t keep trying to use my paring knife to slice bread.
@craigthom Or my 6 inch boner to slice, well, you know,…
@craigthom I wish mine had some labels reminding me which end to hold. I always mess that one up!
/giphy knives are hard
@craigthom Can’t you just make little bread and keep using the paring knife? Isn’t there such a thing as paring bread?
@craigthom and my label would need to explain what i am supposed to do with a Santoku Knife. May need to be longer than 7" to fit the description.
We’re gonna take it down a notch!
MEH!
And down another notch!
MEH!
And another and another and another!
MEH! MEH! MEH!

You’re welcome.
@rv617 grab them by the pie hole sounds suspiciously like something that trumps chef would say.
@rv617 These knives will make your food bigly nasty. #Vote4Nasty
@rv617 You earned a star for the burn comment.
Ain’t nobody got time fo dat.

/giphy quick-fractured-kitten
@RDW0409 And they’re labeled!
@RDW0409 You don’t need a knife set. Good chef’s knife. Cheap paring knife. Decent bread knife. Done.
@RDW0409 Keep an eye out for the Jamie Oliver set they had here- a bit more expensive but really nice. If these are like the look-alike Cuisinarts they aren’t very sharp. I only use the serrated one from that set- it’s great on meat. I like meat.
/giphy I like meat
Okay, I’m seeing some people saying the colors will flake off. Can anyone confirm or deny? Because these look great, and I want them.
@Dizavid I have a similar set from Costco and never had any problems with the colors coming off or flaking etc. they are great
@moonhat Can you put them in the dishwasher? I’ve heard that dishwasher can dull the blades, but I’m curious if the dishwasher would affect the color.
Bought this just to buy something. Fuck you meh.
Obligatory post…
@iggy71 Too bad, she picked literally the worst knife to stab someone with.
@nigglez Not everyone believes in stabbing the easy way. Some of us take pride in expanding our skill set with advanced techniques. And I am not just saying this because I signed up for a “Stabbing with Ladles” class while drunk.
You can tell that they’re high quality because they’re sold in a blister pack.
@GLaDOS But you can’t use them to cut the package open. The irony!
@craigthom I actually lol’ed. Nice
What material are these made of? Plastic? Ceramic?
@FightingMongoos some kind of metal. They’re magnetic.
@FightingMongoos Thank you for asking this - I understand they’re coated and all, but WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF?
@RiotDemon “Some Kind of Metal” WBAGNFARB.
@RiotDemon It’s not magnetism. They just suck.
@FightingMongoos I’m surprised that isn’t in the description because they look like plastic. And not “indestructible space-age industrial plastic” but "Wal-Mart 100 pieces of picnic flatware for $1.99 " plastic.

Colorful knives + 6 year old with infinite curiosity = pass

If only it was $1 more I could say “15 bucks, little man - put that ish in my hand. If that money doesn’t show than you owe me owe me owe…”
Anyhow, buying as a super late wedding present for a couple that likes to throw knives in drawers; the sheaths are on point here.
